"It was so inspiring for the youngsters in particular, to listen to advice, shake his hand and have their picture taken with him. They'll remember that for a long time."

Rushwick club president David Bryant said: "Next year is Daryl's benefit year at Worcestershire so we'd like to organise a big event at the club to help raise as much as we can for him."

Daryl said: "It was a pleasure to spend the evening with Rushwick, such a vibrant club that's bringing a lot of talented young cricketers through. I'm looking forward to seeing them at Rushwick again next summer."
